So, I had planned on doing a Hump-Day Confessional on Wednesday....unfortunately, I was in 3rd day detox headache GRR! mode. Yes, you read that right. I am back on the wagon. I kept putting it off, thinking of more and more dishes and treats I wanted to have before I jumped back in. Then, I had a friend from college issue a "Biggest Loser" 12 week challenge and while I was hmm-ing and hawww-ing at the thought of starting something so soon and all the things I still had in the freezer and pantry...all the Christmas candy treats I still hadn't eaten, I knew it was time. There is never going to be a "right time". There is always going to be some holiday, some event, some excuse why I couldn't start.
Funny thing is, whenever I would eat one of those dishes or treats that I was stalling over, it was never as good as I remembered it being. Honestly, that is what I have kept/keep reminding myself of this week when the craving for a cookie, some cake, or some carb-heavy food strikes.
I do have two things to confess today:
~I did gain all the weight back that I had previously lost. So here I go again, staring over from square one. When I logged back onto myfitnesspal and saw my old stats, it hit me....if I had only stayed on track, I would be well at my goal weight by now....wearing cute clothes and not dodging pictures at Christmas.
~I am petrified this time. Last year, I was filled with resolve and determination. Then the excuses came. Then the out of control spiral came. My sister lost a large amount of weight about 5 years ago. Then she gained it back. I could never understand how she could have let that happen. I am scared to death to be one of those people who loses 50-100 pounds only to gain it back.
This week was filled with some pretty terrible headaches, crabby moments, and cravings. But I got through them.
Great Job getting back on track. Dieting is hard. Beating ourselves up over yesterday never helps. What matters is that you're back in the saddle again and going strong!
ReplyDeleteI am VERY proud of you! GREAT, GREAT Job!!
Linda in Western NC :D
THanks Linda!
DeleteI fell off the wagon during Christmas, ate way too much. And it is hard to get back on track. One of these day I hope to realize that I can't have just one bite... that is all there is to it... Good luck!
ReplyDeletePS I love reading your blog.
Well I for one am very proud of you. Just jump right back in and with support from all of us you CAN do it. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you are back! Truly, that's half the battle! I am having that battle with myself right now to get back to exercise. I have managed to put it off for 11 days:(
ReplyDeleteYou can do this!!!
I'm proud of you!! You've got this, girl!!!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWelcome back! I think the only way to keep the weight off forever is to find a way of eating that you mostly like. This low carb thing is the best for me. I just have to find new ways to make the things I miss. This is a great time of the year to strengthen your resolve and plunge right in!
ReplyDeleteConfession: Most of the rest of us struggle too but we can help each other
Welcome back. We missed you. I gained some that I lost as well. But we just have to keep going and help each other out to reach our goals. We will get there....eventually!!! XO
ReplyDeleteWe are all in this together... my problem is I fall off the wagon "daily". I always start out the day with good intentions, I even eat a good breakfast and lunch, but by the time I get home from work and start dinner, I have too many chips to curb craving or this or that... instead of eating a moz string cheese, I want the chips... I can't figure out why it's been so hard for me this second time around and yet, I guess if I'd get more serious and track food like they say you should, I could see a difference. I have 6 stinking pounds to lose to get to goal weight, just 6. You'd think I could do it but I havne't been able too... and see, I don't get headaches, and I don't get sick and all the things other people post about... so maybe I'm doing something wrong. :( But, I will NOT give up! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeletewelcome back!
ReplyDeleteI have missed you! I too have been doing some yo-yoing and am slowly but surly getting "back on the wagon" as well. Always here if you need anything! Much love~
